• Abstract summary: We employ the maximal entropy formalism to construct the least biased mixed quantum state that is consistent with the given set of expectation values. We employ a parameterized quantum circuit and a hybrid quantum-classical variational algorithm to obtain such a target state making our recipe easily implementable on a near-term quantum device.

• Abstract: Quantum state tomography is an integral part of quantum computation and offers the starting point for the validation of various quantum devices. One of the central tasks in the field of state tomography is to reconstruct with high fidelity, the quantum states of a quantum system. From an experiment on a real quantum device, one can obtain the mean measurement values of different operators. With such a data as input, in this report we employ the maximal entropy formalism to construct the least biased mixed quantum state that is consistent with the given set of expectation values. Even though in principle, the reported formalism is quite general and should work for an arbitrary set of observables, in practice we shall demonstrate the efficacy of the algorithm on an informationally complete (IC) set of Hermitian operators. Such a set possesses the advantage of uniquely specifying a single quantum state from which the experimental measurements have been sampled and hence renders the rare opportunity to not only construct a least-biased quantum state but even replicate the exact state prepared experimentally within a preset tolerance. The primary workhorse of the algorithm is re-constructing an energy function which we designate as the effective Hamiltonian of the system, and parameterizing it with Lagrange multipliers, according to the formalism of maximal entropy. These parameters are thereafter optimized variationally so that the reconstructed quantum state of the system converges to the true quantum state within an error threshold. To this end, we employ a parameterized quantum circuit and a hybrid quantum-classical variational algorithm to obtain such a target state making our recipe easily implementable on a near-term quantum device.

  A revolutionary step in computation is driven by quantumness or quantum correlations, which are permanent in entanglements but often in separable states. The exact quantification of quantumness is an NP-hard problem; thus, we consider alternative approaches to approximate it. We show that the objective value decreases along the flow by proofs and numerical results.

  "quantum phase processing" can directly apply arbitrary trigonometric transformations to eigenphases of a unitary operator. Quantum phase processing can extract the eigen-information of quantum systems by simply measuring the ancilla qubit. We propose a new quantum phase estimation algorithm without quantum Fourier transform, which requires the fewest ancilla qubits and matches the best performance so far.

In an anticipative quantum measurement the combination of the results from classical and quantum computations happens only in the end.
